Chapter 80: Survival

Translator:Editor:

Three large bombers were still dropping fuel-air bombs endlessly into the sea of fire, waves of flames rising and spreading. The waves from the explosions were never-ending as they blasted into the clouds.

Within a minute, the three bombers had already dropped nearly a hundred fuel-air bombs, blasting everything within several kilometers’ radius into a sea of flame. Their destructive force was akin to a mini nuclear bomb.

Fuel-air bombs were also called “Asian Nuclears”. It was inhumane to use such a blasting mechanism against living targets. Those killed by them died either of suffocation or high temperature. As the human race progressed, such explosives had been banned by the United Nations, much like biochemical weapons. It felt surreal to see them used again that day.

Hedong City had always had a stable environment. It had never experienced any serious threats. Due to the recent increase in population, the village near the defense works had been evacuated, and the outskirts, which were only marginally safe, had been flooded with people.

Even if the outskirts had been occupied by mutated beasts by now, there was probably still a large number of survivors.

Luo Yuan’s face was pale as a sheet. It was clear to him that the military would never make such vicious attacks if they had a choice. Everyone knew that the public outcry after a war had the ability to drown anyone.

Had Hedong City been forced into a corner?

Despite the fact that he was strong enough to battle a blue level mutated beast, he felt as desperate and as lost as anyone at that moment. His own strength seemed insignificant in this ferocious situation. Once Hedong City had fallen…

Luo Yuan watched in stupor for a moment before he turned towards the huge skull. He took a few steps, but tripped on a pile of mud. His machete flung out of his hand.

He stood up and picked it up, his hands shaking and his body trembling. He had stayed strong because he had not felt hopeless, but when faced with the possibility of no hope, no one could remain unaffected.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to stay calm.

He retrieved a synthesized dark blue level bullet and pushed it into the barrel. He aimed at a wall and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A hole appeared on the wall after a deafening sound.

Luo Yuan went over to check. The hole was almost the same size as the bullet, which meant that the bullet had gone through the wall smoothly. The collision had not changed its shape. He nodded his head. He could go on synthesizing.

A few minutes later, white-jade colored bullets had formed a pile on the ground.

He only stood up after he had synthesized Wang Shishi’s shuttle to dark blue level.

He had to do something. He could not bear this any longer. As he looked far away into the distance, the hesitant expression on his face was replaced by determination.

The world had gotten dangerous and unfamiliar. There was no longer an absolute safe place to hide. Instead of finding hiding spots or hiding in dark corners and waiting for death, it seemed logical to try his luck once again.

This threat could very well be his chance. Blue level mutated beasts, which were usually hard to find, were everywhere now, some of them so severely injured they were drawing their last breaths.

As long as he could trigger a mission.

It had always been a mystery to him how the system chose to assign certain missions. It never seemed to assign one without reason.
